Prandtl-Batchelor flows revisited
No full textIn this paper laminar flows are considered with closed streamlines. For such flows Prandtl [1905. Å°ber Flüssigkeitsbewegung bei sehr kleiner Reibung. Verhandlungen des III. Internationalen Mathematiker Kongresses, Heidelberg, 1904, pp. 484-491, Teubner, Leizig. See Gesammelte Abhandlungen II, pp. 575â584] and Batchelor [1956. On steady laminar flow with closed streamlines at large Reynolds number. J. Fluid Mech. 1, 177â��190] proved that the vorticity is constant in an inner region separated from the walls by a thin boundary layer. Moreover, Batchelor [1956. On steady laminar flow with closed streamlines at large Reynolds number. J. Fluid Mech. 1, 177â190] was able to derive the value of the constant vorticity if this wall has a circular shape. The present contribution is concerned with noncircular shapes. In this case no exact result similar to that found by Batchelor [1956. On steady laminar flow with closed streamlines at large Reynolds number. J. Fluid Mech. 1, 177â190] can be obtained. A useful approximation is derived here based on the condition that the torque on a closed streamline must be constant throughout the boundary layer. The contribution to the torque by the pressure is shown to be small with respect to that by the viscous stresses for a nearly circular shape. From the latter, the vorticity in the inner region can be obtained. For the square cavity, the torque calculation provides an exact value of the vorticity
Steady Prandtl-Batchelor flows past a circular cylinder
No full textThe high Reynolds number flow past a circular cylinder with a trailing wake region is considered when the wake region is bounded and contains uniform vorticity. The formulation allows only for a single vortex pair trapped behind the cylinder, but calculates solutions over a range of values of vorticity. The separation point and length of the region are determined as outputs. It was found that using this numerical method there is an upper bound on the vorticity for which solutions can be calculated for a given arclength of the cavity. In some cases with shorter cavities, the limiting solutions coincide with the formation of a stagnation point in the outer flow at both separation from the cylinder and reattachment at the end of the cavity
Evolution of isolated turbulent trailing vortices
No full textIn this work, the temporal evolution of a low swirl-number turbulent Batchelor vortex is studied using pseudospectral direct numerical simulations. The solution of the governing equations in the vorticity-velocity form allows for accurate application of boundary conditions. The physics of the evolution is investigated with an emphasis on the mechanisms that influence the transport of axial and angular momentum. Excitation of normal mode instabilities gives rise to coherent large scale helical structures inside the vortical core. The radial growth of these helical structures and the action of axial shear and differential rotation results in the creation of a polarized vortex layer. This vortex layer evolves into a series of hairpin-shaped structures that subsequently breakdown into elongated fine scale vortices. Ultimately, the radially outward propagation of these structures results in the relaxation of the flow towards a stable high-swirl configuration. Two conserved quantities, based on the deviation from the laminar solution, are derived and these prove to be useful in characterizing the polarized vortex layer and enhancing the understanding of the transport process. The generation and evolution of the Reynolds stresses is also addressed

A critical examination of the agnostic Buddhism of Stephen Batchelor /
No full textThe current study examines the agnostic Buddhism of contemporary scholar and practitioner Stephen Batchelor. The main question under examination is whether the essence of Buddhism is undermined when interpreted through Batchelor's agnostic and "belief-free" lens. In an attempt to answer this question, Batchelor's main philosophical texts---Alone With Others, The Faith to Doubt, and Buddhism Without Beliefs---are analysed, as are three critiques of his work written by Bhikkhu Punnadhammo, Bhikkhu Bodhi, and Sangharakshita. It is concluded that while Batchelor is discarding many of the conventional trappings of Buddhism, he is not placing its integrity at risk
Chromophobia
No full textThe central argument of Chromophobia is that a chromophobic impulse – a fear of corruption or contamination through colour – lurks within much Western cultural and intellectual thought. This is apparent in the many and varied attempts to purge colour, either by making it the property of some foreign body – the oriental, the feminine, the infantile, the vulgar, or the pathological – or by relegating it to the realm of the superficial, the supplementary, the inessential, or the cosmetic. Chromophobia has been a cultural phenomenon since ancient Greek times; this book is concerned with the motivations behind chromophobia and with forms of resistance to it. Batchelor considers the work of a wide range of writers and artists and explores diverse imagery including Herman Melville's ‘Great White Whale’, Aldous Huxley's ‘Reflections on Mescaline’, Le Corbusier's Journey to the East and L Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz. Batchelor also discusses the use of colour in Pop, Minimal, and more recent art
